[Makaan]

In a way the last minutes of the crew using the sword feels as if some Imperial Guards found some dead marine and took the sword then started playing with it.
Amusing.

[commandantkrieg]

Fine work, techpriests. Your craftsmanship is wonderful. I’m sure the blood angels will adore this sword of the Emperor’s fury.

[alfabusa]

The most incredible thing I've ever seen.

[baileychasteen]

The next one that should be done is the sword of the Emperor of Mankind.

Also, the adeptus mechanicus would be very proud of you for using a toaster.

[shad]

the most modern of all sword crafting tools: the toaster oven.

[Life_And_Things]

First members of the Cult Mechanicus. (Circa 2019 Terra)

[billylukito]

So now the Emperor already created the first prototype of the Holy chainsword on this sacred forge of Terra. may the Imperium and the Emperor bless this man, who in turn may become the first generation of Adeptus mechanicus.


- =THE EMPEROR PROTECT= -

[emeraldmaster]

Is it just me or does them using a toaster oven to help make this sword kind of fit with Warhammer 40k

And you know the stereotype for the machine priests.

[GI_D]

1000 episode - Now we build an emperor class titan in 1:1 :D awesome epicsode!

[ryngak]

You made a chainsword, but

-no incense
-no candles
-no chants
-no prayers
-no toasters

The machine spirits will NOT be pleased.

[SuperCommando]

Imperial Eagle?! I DIDN'T HEAR IMPERIAL AQUILA!
Not a single Mechanicus Incantation was spoken, and this weapon wasn't blessed by the Omnissiah.
I smell either Heresy, or HERESY!

[PhilipAlexanderHassialis]

Demonstration lacking, no testing on xenos or heretic specimens.

[poodlemeister]

I love this build for a bunch of reasons

1. Goes out of the comfort zone of many of the viewers (and I think to great effect)
2. Showcases just how many disciplines can be used for making stuff like this (who'd a thought a tattoo artist could be useful in a forge???)

Great work, can't wait to see the next 100 episodes!

[nibblrrr]

10:19 An unfathomably advanced artifact from the Dark Age of Technology, recreated from ancient STC fragments & generously provided for this special episode by the Adeptus Mechanicus: the so-called 'Toaster Oven'.

[TheThedude]

Wow this is amazing, I dare say it is off the CHAIN!

[groningen]

You had someone dressed as a bloody space marine and didn't see fit to use him during the demo reel. Are you kidding me?
Great build by the way.

[xenostyrant]

The Blood Ravens probably turned up after they finished filming and "acquired" this holy relic. Damn magpies

[fresnel]

Not a single tech-priest was involved in this build. The Omnissiah is angry and the tech-assassins cannot be recalled. Make your peace with the Emperor now.

[_Andrew._]

You need to try to contact Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson - World's Strongest Man - The Mountain - to wield the sword.
He is almost the size of a Space Marine!

[Brtzl]

Ahh yes. The humble chainsword. Sleek, elegant and THE PERFECT WEAPON FOR THE EMPERORS FINEST!
